Been saying for a couple of weeks that we needed a lucky break, and it seems we finally got one today.

This result is huge. Not only in terms of where we sit tonight, but on the morale of the team going forward. Now we know we can win, especially at home.

Next week is almost, but not quite, like a playoff final for us. A win will mean that Barnet would have to win all of their remaining games to have a chance of catching us.

44 points with three games remaining would be a very strong position to be in. Chesterfield may not reach that number given that they have to fit in another 7 games, 4 of them away I believe.

But I don't think we should assume that we wont pick up a point from our last three matches. We can certainly get something from FGR and the home game against Notts County is by no means mission impossible. Chesterfield beat them comfortably a couple of  weeks ago.

So we are far from down. That penalty has made all the difference.

He showed a calmness and authority throughout the games. Clearly had the respect of the players.

Fantastic referee, calm and authoritative. Was having a right laugh with Mitch Rose as the players were preparing to kick off the second half.

Best ref I've seen for years at BP


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Not an opinion shared by Jack Lester!

Ironic isn't it, I wonder how many penalties Jack managed to con with his diving during his career?

Just seen the highlights, you might get that penalty given 5/10 times by a DECENT referee, but Chesterfield really shouldn’t complain as the guy leans in to the path of the ball and it does hit his arm, his movement is deliberate

It was a nice change to have a decent ref who let the game flow and  didn't blow for every bit of physical contact, that's why he's a Premier Leage ref. We've seen too many refs here that seem to think we've paid to see him and hear his whistle over the last few years.
